Radio Goldy

For those of you who, like me, miss my weekend radio gig (and especially for those few of you who have made it clear that you definitely do not), I am pleased to announce that I will be back on 710-KIRO, if only temporarily, filling in for Dave Ross for most of the next two weeks. So tune in 9AM to Noon, February 25th through the 29th, and again March 3rd through the 6th, as I bring my drive time propaganda to the masses while wiping my liberal stink all over Dori’s microphone.

Sure, I’d prefer my own show, but if they’re still letting me sit in for Dave, I suppose I must not suck all that much after all.

Welcome back goldy! I think you need to try to have a deeper voice to emulate Dave…

Hey – get Dino Rossi on as a guest and let him squirm in the wind….

Rick Renzi: another GOP congresscritter (ex) goes down and the US Assistant Attorneys scandal gets another belt notch for illegal republican cover-ups.

where are the republican trolls? Seem like every other day there is a new republican tainted by corruption. Oh – and check out McCains closest advisors – almost all of them are or have been coporate multinational lobbyists.

The headline: The anti-lobbyist advised by lobbyists – guess he takes to heart Lao Tsu’s advice, Keep your freinds close and your enemies closer…but it doesn’t say to keep them as your advisors…

@12: I don’t think there would be much of a sound if Mark Gardners head exploded – more like a micro sound. Can a sound have negative decibels? I need to ask Mark that question – at least it is better than his question about how global warming won’t cause a rise in the sea level – you see Mark thinks he knows more than the actual scientists who work on these problems.

Of course – Mark knows next to nothing about science – and that small amount of knowledge is what makes him dangerously stupid.

Check him out along with other great literary talents like Lou (Bring back DDT) Guzzo or “Professor” Manweller – who thinks bipartisanship is good as long as the democrats go along with right wing republican corruption.

All of this and more at the aptly named whackynation.com website – all the right wing hypocrisy and loonacy you ever wanted in one succinct website.

I guess this will mean you have to press the “yes” button when you make your weekly unemployment claim phone call to the question “did you work for any employer”. Hell, at least it beats the $446 weekly check for sitting on your ass typing away your nonsense. BTW – did you make your 3 job search contacts? I hear McDonalds is hiring.

From today’s CNN.com. Very interesting. Hillary plagiarizes Bill? So would that then be called Experience you can Xerox?

“Clinton faces claims of borrowed language Posted: 11:25 AM ET (CNN) – Hillary Clinton – whose campaign has spent the past several days pointing to instances of borrowed language in the speeches of rival Barack Obama – is being accused of lifting words from one very familiar politician: her own husband, former President Bill Clinton.

During Thursday night’s CNN Democratic debate, Clinton looked to highlight occasions when lines used by Obama have resembled those delivered by his friend and adviser, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.

Clinton’s closing answer, which brought the audience to its feet, highlighted her personal struggles and the difficulties facing ordinary Americans: “You know, the hits I’ve taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country.”

Shortly after she delivered her closing remark, a reader of Joshua Micah Marshall’s Talking Points Memo Web site noted that the line seemed to bear a resemblance to one her husband was quoted as delivering during his 1992 campaign.

“The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of this state and this country have been taking for a long time,” her husband was quoted as saying in an article by Anna Quindlen in the New York Times in that November of that year.

Last night, Hillary Clinton also said: “You know, whatever happens, we’re going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we’ll be able to say the same thing about the American people. And that’s what this election should be about.”

The Obama campaign immediately began circulating a similar comment delivered by former presidential candidate John Edwards. “What’s not at stake are any of us. All of us are going to be just fine no matter what happens in this election. But what’s at stake is whether America is going to be fine,” Edwards said during a December debate in Iowa.”

Congrats Goldy- I am a firm believer that giving you the mike will help folks realize the lunacy of the fringe lunatic left. Please talk about the state of our State Budget…and don’t forget the $5 BILLION underfunded State Retirement Fund @ 6/30/07 with $37 BILLION invested in equities that have dropped 10% or more in value since 6/30/07. Oh and for that matter, take a look at the return generated (or lost) by other State Funds invested in equities. I suppose it’s easier to ignore the undesirable consequences of Seattle Progressivism and instead talk about hope, change & a new beginning.

19 – I know how it works because I was on unemployment for a month about 3.5 years ago when the company I worked for got acquired and they laid off most of the corporate staff. It happens. What was I to do, turn down the money my former employer was paying into the unemployment system?

Obama cultists are called “Obamorons” or more precisely “Oba-Morons”!!

And YLB– Like many Washingtonians, I am fortunate to also live other places too. I still own several homes, rental properties & building lots in Washington. I probably pay way more in taxes than you do. My combined property taxes are around $25,000. Seems like you are the freeloader huh!

Mr Cynical: That’s a lot of taxes. I have to go for a while but this is true:

Clueless Idiot (YLB) sits at home with momma, picking his buggers while he scratches his balls typing away on his ‘puter trying to look all smart. If you put that tax information in an Excel Spreadsheet he’d be lost. Give him the SQL command Create Table … and he’d try to sit down at it and ask momma where’s de grub.

He don’t pay taxes cuz there is nothing between the ears to allow him become productive in society.

Clueless Idiot walks into a mall after momma lets go of his hand and he wanders around aimlessly. He wears a T-Shit with the arrow pointing up towards his head saying “I’m with Stupid”.

So the daily Republican data feed to the news networks, (but first via Fox News, Limbaugh, & O’Riley), is that the NYT’s article about McCain will backfire, causing the “real conservatives” to rally around McCain.

That’s okay. I hope both of them hug & kiss & have hot makeup sex. The rest of us can go back to ignoring them.

Perhaps they should be declared an enthreatened species? If so, the Democrats might be compelled to limit their campaigning, in order to give them some time to begin a new breeding program.

Ratings…it’s all about ratings; if you get the numbers, the bucks flow.

But how? In your case, that will be tough since my guess is that most of the KIRO listening audience ain’t all that keen on an all The Darcy all the time programming format. So…some suggestions to attract a broader, more demographically significant and affluent audience, which the HA Happy Hooligans certainly are not:

– Contests…run some listener contests with give-aways. How about a 10th-caller getting your personal copy of Das Kapital with all your hand-written annotations? Maybe your unwashed, sweat-stained Che Guevara t-shirt? You know, the one you got in the close-out bin at Wal-Mart!

– Monson does this thing with haikus, so how about you do something with limericks?

A lefty ol’ coot named Goldy, His “thinking” and socks both moldy. He rarely makes sense, ‘Cause he’s terminally dense Even most Dems have so told me.

Or how about one about a side-kick of yours? You know, a Sancho Panza to your Don Quixote?

There’s this HA poster named Goev, Funkiest name west o’ Le Havre. Goldy will eternally cherish, the writing of this fellow, Parrish, The only quality HA’ll have.

– Trips…you can put together one of those escorted tours so popular on radio shows. 11-days and 10-nights shouldering weapons alongside the al-Aqsa Martyrs brigade in Gaza and the West Bank. Only $2,700 per person, rancid meals and third-class accommodations included. Taxes, tips, and souvenirs extra, though you can keep all the shell casings you expend.

– On-site promotions…”Hey, this is Goldy down here at ABC Motors in Fife, where I’ll be for the next two hours signing autographs, givin’ way HA Happy HooliHot swag, talkin’ little politics, and kickin’ back with all you listeners! Joinin’ me is my fav’ squeeze, The Darcy, in her latest skimp-o-ramic bee-keen-eeeeeeeeee from the Barely Covers Resort Wear shop that’s conveniently located next to Rick’s topless lounge in beautiful downtown Lake City. Me and The Darcy would love to have ya drop on by – maybe check out some new wheels here at ABC where my good pals Slip and Vince are just waitin’ to get you into somethin’ green and progressive with L-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-W down, and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-ZZZZZZZZZZ-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE sub-prime payments – We finance in-house where your bad credit is our good fortune! We be rockin’ for the next couple hours with hotdogs, sodas, and balloons for the kiddies! Don’t delay, check us out today! And bring your #%^&*$^()#!~&%^$% checkbook!”

– In-studio demos…Ratings go through the roof when a talk show host announces he’ll do something like get tazed or drunk on the radio. Maybe you could do both? Question is, though, would anyone be able to tell the difference? Aside from the screams when a Seattle cop ratcheted his tazer up to the Ol’ Sparky setting and forgets how long before safe exposure turns lethal. At least it would be a Seattle radio first! A Goldy refined in fire!

– Cooking tips…Always a winner! Don’t you think the Puget Sound listening audience is agog, simply agog, at the prospect of learning how to mix up HA Happy HooliHumus? Or your patented Scrooge-like gruel? Just how many recipes for crow do you have, BTW???

Just some friendly neighborhood suggestions from someone who cares and wants to see you succeed…or is that secede? I can never keep the two straight! Maybe you could succeed by seceding? Worked for the Kosovars…or do you support the Serbs? Can we get that on the record, please?

@32, how about this idea for a talk show topic … and I’m halfway serious … “What are the most progressive/liberal songs of all time? Then Goldy plays some clips from his list, then he takes calls from listeners with their suggestions. It’s sort of a Dori thing to do.

Just off the top of my head, songs like Imagine, Fight the Power, Blowin’ in the Wind, and One Toke Over the Line might be good choices.

Richard @ 33– I understand your point about funding… However the problem in Washington State is not about Funding…it’s about SPENDING. We have a SPENDING problem. Just look at the State Employee #’s, benefits etc. Just look at the mismanaged DSHS. Just look at the mismanaged DOT and State Ferry System. We pay plenty of taxes under any form of taxation. Are you implying a system where with taxes the sky is the limit?? I think not but… We need folks to challenge how the money HAS BEEN and IS BEING spent in Washington State Government. PS–What is the cost of regulations in Washington State? Each regulation. Start there and ask what is really necessary and what has evolved due to out of control bureaucracies.

I understand you may not like government PROGRAMS. But aren’t you really complaining about MANAGEMENT of government programs? And how can you say that Gregoire is doing any worse than Bush, when it comes to MANAGEMENT?

I have the solution to the “mismanaged” state government. Put the Republicans in charge! We all know how competent they are; how devoted to good, honest, smooth-running and efficient government agencies that effectively serve those in need.

I have never been a supporter of Bush..nor am I a Republican. I am a Conservative with a strong Libertarian soul. Just because Bush is a horrible manager doesn’t mean we should tolerate the same or worse from Gregoire. I believe the government should provide Infrastructure & Public Safety…. Gregoire and the 28 years of Democratic Party rule in the Washington Governor’s Mansion is responsible for the mess in DSHS, Transportation et al. And the underfunded State Retirement Fund.

@45 I gotta cry BULLSHIT!. You are a BIAW Shill, pure and simple, simpleton. A Wingnut through and through trying to ride a busted pony in the person of Dino Lossi to implement your failed antigovernmental policies. 53% for Gregoire. Stick a fork in that turkey Rossi, he’s done. Mr. Clinically Insane you are such a liar, I’ll have to check with your “friends” in Port Townsend to verify you have actually left the state.

I’d substitute “One Toke Over The Line” for the Beatles’ “Revolution”. OTOTL doesn’t sound political to me at all. And on the other hand, I’d suggest just about any song from Rage Against The Machine for such a list, but even I (this board’s resident metalhead) can only tolerate them in small doses and by ignoring the vocals, mostly because vocalist Zach de la Rocha is a whiny little anarchist bitch. And while guitarist Tom Morello is a card-carrying Socialist, he’s also an innovative enough guitarist to make RATM worth listening to. Audioslave (RATM with Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell replacing de la Rocha on vox) was much better, and generally non-political, though they did play a show in Cuba.

WINDSOR LOCKS — – The Windsor Locks Public Library is hosting the House Rabbit Connection, a group dedicated to finding homes for unwanted rabbits.

The House Rabbit Connection’s ambassadors will be at the library on March 1, at 10:30 a.m., to talk about owning rabbits and to allow children and adults to see pet rabbits up close. All are welcome to attend.

Read Forbes magazine and see why they are calling Washington State the “darling” of business friendly states since Gov. Gregoire took over. You know, Forbes magazine of that “Liberal’s Liberal” fame, Steve Forbes.

All you have, all you ever had as a conservative are empty ideas that “sounded” good, but in reality — sucked.

@56 My apologies for belaboring the obvious. He realized he was nuts when he didn’t buy NOV for 29 (split-adjusted). It closed today at 64.85 — that’s $35.85 per share of FREE MONEY!! Cynical just doesn’t have good judgment, nor does he listen to good advice. If he did, he would have bought NOV when I told him to, and would vote Democrat.

@66 The fact they invited him back to do fill-in work after eliminating his show is conclusive evidence you don’t know what you’re talking about. But then, you never know what you’re talking about — you’re one of those clueless wingnut sheep that bleats aimlessly in the meadow.

Goldy, You don’t suck at all. Since KIRO cut you and the other weekend personages, I have cut KIRO. They are a second or third rate radio station as far as I am concerned. To get rid of political content in an election year is scandalous!!!!
